As I have outlined in my Department's Statement of Strategy, my Department is committed to successfully managing the many day-to-day issues affecting our transport network while at the same time ensuring that we have a vision for the future. My Department's most up to date statement of strategy can be found at the following link
Also as the Deputy is aware, the Government has committed toward delivering an ambitious National Development Plan (NDP) 2018 to 2027 which will drive Ireland’s long term economic, environmental and social progress across all parts of the country over the next decade.
My Department and its agencies have a key role in delivering that progress and the NDP contains commitments toward a wide range of projects and programmes across my Department's remit including all areas of the transport system, focussing on those areas that are priorities for investment in the coming decade. These projects and all areas of the national transport system are looked at on an ongoing basis with a view to delivering an effective and progressive national transport system.
The NDP itself outlines these projects and programmes and is available to view at
